ZR1 is 33xx lbs.

Your camaro with a supercharger is about 4k.

You would need at least 70 more rwhp than the zr-1 for it to be a good race just as a quick guess. I think they put down about 530rwhp stock.

I am guessing you would need about 600rwhp for it to be interesting.

About ~650 to "outrun" it.

Not only do you need about as much rwhp because of the ZR1's weight, you will also need ALOT of traction to put all that power to the ground or else he will just walk you. Even from a roll of any kind you still need to have some great tires that will grip like a tiger and a good suspension setup to help it all work in unison.

Whatever tires comes on the Z06 Centennial editions wouldn't be a bad idea, but I don' think the tread life last very long though.

Well, I'm definitely going to need some better tires, but I'm done modding for now. So, I'm just gonna line up and see what happens.

I know 616 RWHP and a good set of Mickey Thompson D/R will do it, but it will be close if both can drive.

After you get that 650 rwhp, plan on forging everything under the hood, new tranny, driveshaft, dif, wheels, tires, suspension, etc... Strip the interior out and put a carbon fiber body on... And find an 80 lb driver.

I don't get it, what are you saying???

Just kidding and I was simply trying to be a bit facetious with all the suggested mods. I'm with you! You could leave the seats in using a titanium roll bar.

Could even let MikeOD drive!
